Start off
the new

tools! The
purpose of
this series

challenges.
On September

kick off

by exploring
and
discussing
the

How can I
communicate

struggle
with them?

Ongoing
weekly
support
groups for
Tweens (ages

The purpose
of these

offer tweens
and teens a
safe,
non-judgmental,
positive,
and relaxing
space to
share their
thoughts,
feelings,
and concerns
about
anything
that is on
their minds
and going on
in their
life. It is
also a great
place to
meet and
make new
friends. The
underlying
goals of the
group are to
foster
positive
self-esteem
and
self-confidence,
strengthen
communication
skills, and
empower kids
to achieve
their
personal and
academic
dreams.
Participants
will engage
in creative
and
age-appropriate
use of
games, art,
and dialogue
to achieve
these goals.
